In case you missed part one- here you go - Click HERE to see it.
And just a quick unrelated note - Remember I mentioned my 18-200mm canon lens was dropped and had a boo-boo... well, I sent it to Canon to get repaired and it's back - Looking beautiful and brandy new! I am a happy girl.
We went to Ocean City, MD for our vacation 2 weeks ago. Here is part two of the pictures ...
Which one is your favorite? I am partial to the last picture of her squatting down on the boat dock.
Daddy & Julianna hugging on a bench by the bayside. I have been trying to work on silhouettes lately. Clearly I still have a lot of practice to do! But... it's fun to play around with the shutter speed.
This is the pool in the condo complex where we stayed in Ocean City. Loved it.
Julianna in the water wiggling her toes.
The Ocean City Boardwalk - It was huge and we loved it - spent 5 hours there one night just strolling around, eating Thrasher's famous french fries, dinner at Hammerheads, drinking Ice Cream milkshakes, going on the rides, shopping ... and so much more!
The kite shop flies all of their kites during the day- Pretty Neat!
Julianna showing me something ...probably the seagulls (or as she calls them - beach geese!)
Looking at the beach over the wall on the boardwalk!
Happy Girl loved the boardwalk!
Kites & boardwalk at sunset. We lucked out with such pretty sunsets at night - we got so many pinks, blues, oranges & purples every night.
I thought this was a Baltimore Oriole but I looked it up and it's a Barn Swallow!
I never saw one up close- they were hanging out down by the boat docks.
Behind the condo - I love boats and so does Julianna...
Posing for Mommy.
She loves taking off her shoes (no sand here!)
Squatting to pick up a flower ... she said "Oh no - boo boo!" about the flower because it fell off of the bush.
This one of her squatting is my favorite in this batch ...
I love them all. Great pictures!
ReplyDeletethank you kim!

ReplyDeletethank you Mrs g! She likes to model now and is used to me stalking her with my camera! :)
DeleteOcean City should give you $ .....you make it look fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you!! :) It was fun!
DeleteAll the photos are great, but I think my favorite is the second to last one. Julianna is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you melissa! :) She is a good model – she is used to me chasing her around with the camera like crazy mom!
Deleteomg...these pictures are GORGEOUS!!! what a fun vacation! and julianna is just getting so big....the picture of her sitting on the wall with her little feet crossed is killing me <3
ReplyDeleteThank you! She certainly is getting big… and I hate to say that cliché' thing but time flies and before I know it she'll be in college… .that's why I love taking so many photos of her. I never want to forget these times in our lives! :) I think photos are such an important part of memories… I will never stop…. Never! Haha! {says the mama-razzi}
DeleteFabulous shots! I love the boardwalk and the kites. And that bird--wow!
ReplyDeleteHi Danelle- thank you! It was a fabulous night to snap some pictures on the boardwalk – so much fun! Thank goodness my husband is so patient with me stopping all the time to shoot! :)
DeleteI never know where to start with your posts 'cause they always have such great photos in them! Okay, let me see if I can do this... 1st, love the silouhette; think it came out great! 2nd, love that shot of her smiling on the boardwalk (fabulous lighting). 3rd, that bird is a beauty; what gorgeous colors. 4th, That first boat shot is amazing and your processing rocks (I would be hanging this on my wall)! 5th, I would agree that the last shot is fantastic! Awesome pictures! Looks like the perfect vacation :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you! That means a lot. Sometimes it makes it all worth it when I get such wonderful compliments like this! :) I'm not sure if you use Lightroom or not – But if you do, for example on that boat shot, I used a great Lightroom preset called Boondoggle – but its a 3rd party preset from here: http://www.wonderlandpresets.com/free-wonderland-presets/ Actually all of these are really quite cool when you are looking for a neat effect… and then you can play around with them once you do it. I am not a huge fan of Lightroom presets but sometimes on the right picture, they can be fun! :)
DeleteThe one of her smiling on the boardwalk was edited big time in lightroom – it was way too dark and I bumped the fill light (my favorite!!), brightness, saturation and a few other tweekies. Oh and sharpened the eyes of course :)
ok... first off thank you bunches for you sweet sweet comment today mama... made this mama's day! Secondly... YOU are amazing. These shots, all of them are just aweosmesauce. If I had to pick the daddy & his little girl shot is SO precious... & then those cute tootsies in the pool... PURE cute! I'll check back in soon hon. Looks like you had one fab vacation! xo
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome !! So happy for you – that is such an accomplishment! :)
DeleteThank you for the compliments back too! I just could sit and take pictures of Julianna all day but I'm sure you feel the same about your Jax! :) They are awesome models too which doesn't hurt!
Beach Geese~that is so funny and smart of her to make that association!
ReplyDeletewe went to the beach this past weekend and she was talking about and watching the beach geese all day long - too funny! Kids are great. She was staning up on the chair at lunch and saying "Hi" to the ones next to the table outdoors - so cute!
DeleteYou have such awesome blog!!!! I really liked it. Beautiful baby.....
